NACUSO said it will recognize the credit union demonstrating the successful use of a CUSO collaborative model to serve their members. The awards are given to both a CUSO and a credit union that have demonstrated outstanding collaboration and/or innovation over the past year.

In addition, the award recipients will highlight how CUSOs helped credit unions effectively and efficiently serve their members. This can include how credit unions are using CUSOs to meet the needs of their credit union members, including collaborative operational and IT CUSOs, to help lower costs and provide better service, NACUSO said.

The formal announcement and presentation of both awards will take place on April 18 during the 2013 NACUSO Annual Conference at the Encore in Las Vegas.
